SnmpKit.SnmpMgr.CircuitBreaker (snmpkit v0.6.3)

Circuit breaker pattern implementation for SNMP device failure protection.

This module implements the circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascading failures when SNMP devices become unresponsive. It provides automatic failure detection, recovery attempts, and configurable thresholds for different failure scenarios.

Summary

Functions

call(cb, target, fun, timeout \\ 5000)

Executes a function with circuit breaker protection.

Parameters

Options

  • :failure_threshold - Number of failures before opening circuit (default: 5)
  • :recovery_timeout - Time to wait before attempting recovery in ms (default: 30000)
  • :timeout_threshold - Request timeout threshold in ms (default: 10000)
  • :half_open_max_calls - Max calls in half-open state (default: 3)

Examples

{:ok, cb} = SnmpKit.SnmpMgr.CircuitBreaker.start_link(
  failure_threshold: 10,
  recovery_timeout: 60_000
)
